The 2021 Dreamtime Fellowship, initiated with funding and support from Luke Jerram, has been awarded to Bristol-based artist Dolores McGurran, who goes by the artist name Belovitch.
Belovitch graduated from UWE Bristol with a BA in Fine Art in September 2019. Working across installation, interactive art, video, 3D, sculpture and paint, her work varies between minimal pieces, complex multi-dimensional forms and other worldly spaces. Belovitch’s work focuses on issues surrounding identity and other contemporary events, often exploring social, political or environmental concerns.
Belovitch will have access to a studio space at Spike Island for a year and will be granted Spike Associates membership, which offers studio visits from artists, critics and curators, and free access to regular talks, as well as other forms of peer-to-peer learning and support. Belovitch will also receive a bursary of £5,000 and three one-to-one mentoring sessions with Luke Jerram throughout the year.
THE DREAMTIME FELLOWSHIP
Initiated with funding and support from established Bristol-based artist Luke Jerram, Spike Island announced this new fellowship opportunity in 2019 for a recent graduate artist living in Bristol. The opportunity is open to artists who have graduated from a BA or MA Fine Art course from any institution within the last five years.
